British Reviewer.

Firstly I'm not a hater, I gave the 2nd episode of this season 7/10 because I genuinely thought it was good. So believe me when I say my criticism is not without just cause.

The warning signs were there. The episode before this had an extra writer, this episode is credited with 2 extra writers and boy have they made a mess of it. I can only imagine that is the producers panicking over how this show will get wrapped up.

I like the ideas that Issa Lopez has brought to the show, I mean, it's not True Detective in any shape or form other than on the poster but this melange of The Thing... and Eastenders and maybe Erin Brokovitch is interesting albeit unoriginal.

The editing is awful, the sound and cinematography are good. The casting is great, even self-insert Kali Reiss but the directing is woeful and the screenplay is absolutely amateur and should have gone through a rigorous editing.
